1 Peter 1:23 Born again? Born again!!!

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!! Jesu Jevu!

   Born again?  Many scoff at this "born again, you are only born once"! Don't be angry, take time to explain, and if you don't understand it your self - take time to study and understand what Born again means.
   ²³ Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

   Born again - Jesus spoke of this:

John 3:3-7  Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?" Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

   So, what does this tell you?  It is telling you that if you call on Jesus to forgive you of your sins, and truly believe that He, Jesus, came as God-man on earth, died for your sins, was buried and resurrected, and accept this as truth; you are born again.

   You are born again, not in sin as your flesh birth, but of incorruptible seed, meaning of the Spirit. The Spirit lives and abides forever.  Think of it this way.  A flower (plant) produces, bears seeds, and the plant withers and dies.  The seeds begin new life, but they too wither and die. You and I are of the withering and dying seed UNTIL we accept Jesus.  This new birth is a seed that never dies. The everlasting seed. Sooooooo,

     while you are sprouting and generating more seeds go forth and share those seeds with others.  Create a path for new birth and let God do the cultivating.  Hope this resonates with some of your out there in cyber land. Love you all.

Soli Deo Gloria
